Hülkenberg denies driving 'recklessly' at Belgian GP

Altogether five drivers were forced to retire from the race at Spa as a result of damage sustained in the crash and Hulkenberg readily admits he knew immediately that responsibility for the incident fell on his shoulders — even if he still can’t explain how it happened.

“No no, there is nobody else to blame here,” he says with a wry smile. “I accept that and it’s fine.

“It was just an odd one, I’ve had it a few times in my Formula One career situations that will always remain a mystery to you.

“You can’t really explain why or what happened. It wasn’t my day so I’m looking forward to getting a bit further here this weekend and have a better race.”

Fortunately for Hülkenberg, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza offers him the chance of almost immediate redemption.

Steeped in history, the circuit has staged some of F1’s most memorable races and for Hülkenberg — like for many other drivers on the grid — it remains one of the highlights on the calendar.

“I like tracks like here, like Brazil, Spa, Hockenheim, Suzuka, just places with a long heritage in Formula One where there have been crazy races,” he explained. “Races that wrote history in Formula One.

“There’s just something special about these places and Monza is one of them where you drive onto the track and you feel this special vibe.

“You don’t approach it differently but every year when you come here you just have to readjust a little bit as a driver. Monza is the last true high-speed circuit (in Formula One).”
